Beyonce fans outraged over unrecognisable Madame Tussauds waxwork: 'Why is she white?' .
The latest Beyonce waxwork at Madame Tussauds has become a laughing stock on social media. The Formation singer appears to be unrecognisable in the new mould with many claiming her skin has been lightened so much that she resembles a "white woman". A photo of the Madame Tussauds figure began circulating on 19 July although it is not yet known in which of the museum's locations it stands. The wax version of Beyonce, 35, strikes one of the singer's fierce diva-like poses while wearing a shimmery purple blouse with matching hot pants and thigh-high boots. It is likely that the image was modelled on one of the stage costumes Beyonce wore on her Mrs Carter Show World Tour in 2013, with the singer's skintight purple leotard an iconic outfit from the performances. However, Beyonce's facial structure on the waxwork bears little similarity to the singer with her nose seemingly different and her skin tone much lighter. Ridiculing the waxwork on Instagram, one unimpressed user said: "Definitely a total fail!!, without knowing who is was meant to be initially I thought the person was a Caucasian woman.
